INGREDIENTS

• 6 cups peanut oil
• 1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
• 1/2 cup self-rising flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 cup buttermilk (regular milk can be used if a must)
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

DIRECTIONS

• In a medium size bowl, mix all dry ingredients plus onion.
• In another bowl, beat egg lightly. Add egg and buttermilk to dry mixture. Mix all ingredients well. Place mixture in refrigerator for at least two hours. This time is needed to allow cornmeal and flour to absorb moisture.
• In a medium saucepan, heat oil to 325°F or until a pinch of flour dropped into the oil sizzles. Remove hush puppy mix from refrigerator and stir to mix well.
• Using a tablespoon, carefully drop a slightly heaped tablespoon of the batter into the hot oil, repeating until the hush puppies fill the pan without over lapping. Cook until golden brown; remove to paper towel lined dish to drain. Repeat process as necessary to cook all the hush puppies.
